Ram Rod

What is the best wheeled model?

The one that Treewisemen has up for sale.

Ram Rod sucks compared to Boxer, IF you're buying new.

The one that Treewisemen has up for sale.

Ditto

950 is the superior wheeled model. TWM's gear is the best bang for your buck though.

LJ, have you ever run a ramrod?

 

[darkstar]

I have a boxer trac model but think its would be nice to have a mini with wheels for those long distance tree growing in sod jobs.
Yeah im hoping to find a used one as we likely wont use it very much.

Have you checked this thread? http://www.gypoclimber.com/showthread.php?t=11409

Only the track widening / narrowing feature. In most other ways the 1150 will outperform the Boxer. I've run both side by side to compare.

 

[Old Monkey]

Well, I've seen pictures of both and I'd have to say that the Boxer looks spiffier.

 

[squisher]

What? No way jose.

If we have to talk Jerry into considering Rob's machine, then it's probably not the right one for him. I think Jerry should forget about buying from a fellow forum member and just look locally. He's obviously not interested in Rob's machine or else he wouldnt have even started this thread (a day after Rob posted his for sale).

 

[darkstar]

Well i called him and he called me back then he said he needed to go and would call me back shortly ,
I havent heard from him since.
Not my style...

 

[darkstar]

Anyhow i think he said he wanted 14k, it was a very brief conversation .
If that is correct im sure its worth somewhere near that but im actually hoping to find and older one for even cheaper .I paid 20k for our boxer and it will remain the work horse, im looking for something just for the occasional time we are working on really nice grass.
Im still waiting to hear back from him though ?????

 

[inztrees]

eather way they look very handy

 

[Jonseredbred]

Maybe he really needed to go because he is busy.

 

[darkstar]

Yeah that was two or three days ago.
Whatever i am a long way .
He seemd like a first rate fellow.

 

[Old Monkey]

Maybe it was a misunderstanding because he speaks British.

Nope, no misunderstanding, just got tied up chasing my crew and trying to line up work. I e-mailed you Jerry......
